context_page_description: Pazos are big country houses that were built in the 16th century by the richest families of that time, most of them are found in Galicia, Spain. Normally, each family owned several houses to host their relatives. Each house has a shield in which are represented the symbols of all the families that owned the pazo. The importance of the family depended on the numbers of Pazos they owned. Nowadays most of these houses are abandoned or used as a museum. Only a few of them are inhabited.
  The most important Pazos in the area are San Marco, Vista Alegre, Torre, Toxeiriña and Buzaca.
